An ending or a beginning?
Prescript: Before I begin, let me just say that biology was an unmitigated, utter and unadulterated DISASTER. What a way to end an exam... English For Science and Tech was needless to say, ridiculously easy. Done. Now, for the main part of this...
The exams are over and I'm *officially* no longer a school student. Hurray? Makes me feel lost really... as if I had too many options and too few.
But I've solved my problem with Weng. He promised in his joking way that he wouldn't try something like that again... and being the naive person, I trust him... so we're good friends again... whew...
(which reminds me... there's still the rumour that Eugin likes me and David Khong furtively did this weird signature thingy on the inside of the back of my yearbook and there was a "am I cute?". I mean... eww? O_O I'm either paranoid or attracting all the wrong people.)
After the exams, we went to 1U to hang out... and for the girls, shop (amazing how they can never resist and do it for hours on end). Then we had lunch, the ten of us together. Really fun. I ordered a spicy olio thinking that Italian food wasn't usually that spicy. I was so very wrong. However, so were the rest. They never remembered it being this spicy. So, I let them try it. Jing was okay until somewhere halfway through the noodle, and then she just had this shocked expression. I gobbled it down anyway, even though it involved swollen lips and tears (great way to get them out of the way). They thought I was brave for finishing it. lol.
Then they went shopping crazy (need you ask?). Stef managed to break her sandals and had to buy new shoes. I, Bak and Cheryl popped over to MPH to get a book for Stef's birthday. It was a really scandalous book - Misfortune by Wesley Stace - about this orphan girl who was adopted but is really a boy but made a girl because the guardian wanted one. The "dark secret" gets out and all hell breaks loose. The type of kinky novel that I'm commonly associated with (Cheryl remembered my short story). It was so interesting that Bak couldn't decide whether to get it for Stef or for herself. We got it for Stef anyway. Here's to her enjoying it like a great sin!
Then, we all got to watch Joshua pierce TWICE in the same ear. lol. I was wondering whether I should do it and give my parents a shock, but decided to save that for some later time.
At some point, me, Bak and Cheryl all just sat down on one of the red plush leather benches in the new wing of 1U and relax our rapidly deteriorating feet. And we discussed things like what to do with life after SPM and how the human race deserves to go extinct... things like that. :)
At the last minute, I decided to join them for dinner. Bak reserved the table under POGA, hehe. We spent five hours at Souled Out. I had chicken maryland... which was grilled or fried or something chicken + sausage + banana fritters + mashed potato + coleslaw... all at a very reasonable price. Then we snuggled together and gossiped (well, they did most of the gossiping, being the girls who are generally much more interesting and I can't say that I minded listening) for ages and kept on ordering water and in my and Hui En's case, inhaling second-hand smoke from all those smokers a few tables away(hehheh). I found out Cheryl was going out with Aaron (I don't know who that is) but he apparently just stopped talking to her and started french-kissing some girl instead... and everyone at the table was ready to castrate him *evil grin* However, it's very unfortunate for Cheryl; she keeps on getting manipulative guys who she doesn't deserve... who don't deserve her.
Then the Souled Out staff did a dance. But I'm sure everyone's eyes were drawn to the really good dancer in the middle. He was VERY good and quite ahem... appealing while doing that dance. And then, Stef got a glass of red wine on the house when they found out she just had her birthday. I got a sip and couldn't quite take it. It was sour, and bitter and warm all at the same time. Makes me wonder when people like Jacek tell me in their emails that they just took a glass of wine. A GLASS?!!! Kamisama!
I even got in two "boo!"s. One on Binnie in school in front of everyone. The whole group on onlookers were laughing when she screamed! Heh. And then I hit Bak with a running one in the shopping complex... really fun. Then there were the group hugs and the birthday singing and by the end of the night, we we're all very exhausted and sounded a little drunk even though there was no alcohol involved, just lots of teen energy gone wild. (I think everyone we came into contact with had a lot of patience with the noise we made, especially during dinner)
The previous night, I had this chat in a chatroom where this music teacher said commitment and motivation are more important than talent - something to think about. Also introduced to some Brit X-Japan fan the wonders that are Gackt and L'Arc.
To cap it all, I finally realised that I'm not only ignorant, clumsy, blur and completely incapable of directions, but I'm also naive, simple-minded, overly sensitive, insecure, shy and have friends and family who really care - all accomplished in one year (that's not the complete list)!
I'm exhausted myself. But I'm still high from all the excitement and needed to write this before sleeping.
Night.
